downloading from a webpage
« on: October 20, 2004, 01:46:44 AM »
 ???   i want to be able to download documents, either  music, video, or even games that i have on my computer, to my phone that has xhtml capabilities.  

I'm not sure what the is but i know that every web site is simplified and i can't just put a link to the object and click on that.

i tried that and it just says that the link doesn't exist.  

i can't right-click like a computer mouse i only can one links.

i tried to make background music but that doesn't play.

Please help

Perhaps the web site isn't xhtml compliant.

To make a download link is very easy. All you need is a regular link but instead of pointing it at a regular HTML (or PHP or ASP or whatever), you point it at the file to download, ie:

<a href="downloads/StupidLittleSong.midi">Download my Stupid Little Song![/url]

I can guarentee you this works on a PC. I doubt it will work on a phone, simply because I've never seen a phone which can actually download files. I guess that theoretically it would be possible, but I've never seen it done.

Good luck.

Oh, silly me. Yeah, I forgot that nearly all modern Nokias have that function. I should know considering I actually had one...  ::)
